THE CHINESE QUESTION


Discussed From a Chinese standpoint
by Van PhOu Lee of New Haven.
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-ssThe Chinese aues-
ton from Chinese standpoint" was the SUBJ
ject of Van Phou Lee in section I of the
American Society for the Advancement of
Liverne this afternoon. He is a young
Chinese graduate of Yale Referring to the
labor riots and fights against the Chinese he
said the Chinese were first attacked because
they were the weakest. The Chinese agita-
ton had some show of reason, but its
strength rested on three erroneous assump-
tons. First, that the work to be done and
the fund for labor's remuneration were
fixed quantities and that if
the Chinese were employed SO
much would be taken from other laborers.
'It is sufficient" said the speaker, "to reply
that no economist holds that view" Second,
that the Pekin authorities are anxious to get
rid OF its redundant population. Mr.. Lee
showed this to be false. Third, that China's
four hundred millions are only waiting for
an opening to inundate the country. Said
Mr.. Lee: There is only one cause for
apprehension. The immigration of my COM
patriots has been exclusively from Canton
and the region around it within a
radius of one hundred miles. Not single
emigrant has hailed from any other part of
the empire. The Mongoliziation of America
is as far off as the millennium. After twenty
i've years of unrestricted immigration your
patriotic agitators could muster only two
hundred thousand chinese laborers in all the
States and territories. Place this figure side
by side with the three million of immigrants
from England or Poland, which has
never had more than eight million
inhabitants at any one time and you will be
struck with the contrast. The Chinese,
said Mr.. Lee, dislike to cut adrift from kim
dred. Their religion was also hindrance
to emigration. Only the poorest were tempt
ed to a life of adventure. The Chinese
first made their way here with
reluctance, often being drugged and
kidnapped. In time they became superfu-
BUS. Their expulsion became a political
question. Demagogues won mob favor by
advocating the cause of the sand lot; where
eighty thousand offices were at stake and the
noodlums of San Francisco had to
be petted it was easy to make the
Chinese out to be undesirable immigrants
and to hoodwink abe public with
charges against them which were false, or
which might be preferred against all immi- |
grants. Sandlotters were fearful lest their
Christianity should suffer by contact with
Chinese paganism. The cesspool complained

A 100000 RUBBER FIRE.

A Factory of the New York Betting
And Packing Company Completely
consumed.
WATERBURY, Aug. 16.-The upper build
ing of the New Betting and Packing compa-
ny at Sandy Hook caught fire at o'clock
this morning and quickly burned to the
ground. The loss is over $50, 900, principal
ly on machinery. The building was used for
grinding up old rubber with crude gum and
was nearly full of inflammable material. There
was no wind, or the efforts of the employees
to save the other buildings would have been
fruitless. Thirty hands are thrown out of
work.
The fire is supposed to have been due to
spontaneous combustion. The company will
probably rebuild at once. The factory had
but one Waterman and by the time he had
given the alarm at 2 o'clock and men had
arrived to handle the hose the shop was be-
yond saving. The main building, which
was so years old and nearly filed with highly
inhammable material, burned with such
ferceness that the two streams from the
company's hose had no effect on it and they
were confined to saving the storehouses and
engine room, in which the men were success
full. fortunately the night was clear and
calm otherwise much more damage would
have been done.

A Bristol Man Invents a Little MA
chine said to be Worth Millions.
J. T. Case, of Bristol, has invented Won
derful machine. The value of the patent is
estimated by men thought to be competent
judges to be at least more than million dol
lars. New Britain capitalists have organized
a company to manufacture it with NJ. Philip
Corbin as president. Mr.. Case received
$50, 900 cash and $75, 900 in stock, which is
worth par already. The records of foreign
countries have been examined and nothing
has been found to prevent a ground patent.
The wonder of the engine is in its simplicity
and the results in power. The engine is
made in the form of hanger or upright and
the first engine made is 515xSxS and gives 10
horse power by the Emerson power scale and
has been running the shop for three mouths
with 80 horse power boiler at from 40 to
60 pounds steam pressure. 1t runs a very
low or very high speed, ranging from 200 to
200 revolutions per minute, but giving the
best results at medium speed of 200 revo-
lutions. The engine consists of only three
pieces of cast-iron inside of the closed case
and has a crank ~ eccentric for horse and
IL for 10 horse power. The Oil is applied
by a lubricator from the center, but the
present engine has been oiled only once a
week by putting oil inside. There is no limit
to the size and power of the engine any more
than to any engine or machinery, and it can
be applied to railroad locomotives as well as
to stationary power This is Mr.. Cases tri-
umph after fifteen years of patient study.

Lunatic,s sudden Freak.

PORTLAND, Me-, Aug. 16.-Last night
William Smith, a laborer employed at the
Prospect House, Cape Elizabeth, near Pond
Cove, became suddenly violently insane and
attempted to kill Proprietor Jordan with a
heavy iron bar. Failing in this he leaped
through window, sash and all, and was ter
ribly cut. He started on run, however,
and in his mangled condition swan Pond
Cove, still holding his iron bar, and took to
the woods on the other side. This was feat
that no sane man could possibly have at
tempted. A posse started in pursuit and
finally captured the lunatie, who had be-
come exhausted. 1t is supposed Smith will
die from the injuries inflicted by the broken
glass.
